Because I Bloody Well Stammer
[Intro]
C F C G Am F C G C
[Verse]
C F
Well spring blossomed white as a wedding gown
C G
Chalking up one more year in this town
G Am F
All I gained through winter is a couple of pounds
C G C
Time keeps ticking away
C F
Now I’ve been bringing myself to the same old house
C G
Hanging out in bars ‘til I’m told to move on
G Am F
And I find myself squinting at a blood red dawn
C G C
Time keeps ticking away
[Chorus]
C Am Em
I said oh, oh, oh
F G
Somethings gotta change, just not tonight
C Am Em
I said oh, oh, oh
F G
Well I made a couple of friends, and I feel alright
[Instrumental]
C F C G Am F C G C
[Verse]
C F
Now I’ve been finding it harder to get out of bed
C G
Waking up at noon with a break in my head
G Am F
Trying to account for the things that I said
C G C
Time keeps ticking away
C F
So I bathed myself in the kitchen sink
C G
Sit in my room and let the guitar sing
G Am F
Waiting ‘til time to pour another drink
C G C
Time keeps ticking away
[Chorus]
C Am Em
I said oh, oh, oh
F G
Somethings gotta change, just not tonight
C Am Em
I said oh, oh, oh
F G
Well I made a couple of friends, and I feel alright
[Instrumental]
C F C G Am F C G C
[Verse]
C F
Well I can smell the winter and I can taste the cold
C G
Time keeps moving or so I’m told but
G Am F
But I’m still hell bent on never growing old
C G C
Time keeps ticking away
C F
So give me a bottle of Old Crow and a beat up 6-string
C G
Light up a smoke and pour the whiskey and,
G Am F
And keep ‘em coming ‘til the bottles empty
C G C
Time keeps ticking away
